This instrument has been made over the last 12 months or so, fitting in between plan and pickup production especially for and Tailored exactly for Kevin Brown.
Kevin had a very exacting and quite challenging brief to create a very unique lapsteel that converts from a twin neck to two individual 7 string steels in seconds.
Every item on this steel is bespoke. The pickups for example are concealed within the body with only the blade close to the strings and a slim lipstick cover. They are custom wound in heavy, low impedance copper and sound huge and warm.
The Scale markings and decoration are custom created decals based on a National steel design that Kevin provided (he sent me the Fretboard from his own instrument!)
Nut and saddle are Silverised brass, controls CTS and Switchcraft, Kluson Tuners complete the design.
Its unique to Kevin and l am pleased to say that he likes it!
